Man that is dedication, I'm a big fan of the free hug but can't say I have the same commitment. Keep it up, everyone needs hugs!

"Bad" people are a byproduct of a sick society that is rotten to the core, no need to be angry with them.

Anyway have a hug

thanks for the hug!

where do you draw the line between personal responsibility and societal ramifications? I'll give you that a lot of people are messed up because of situations our society placed them in to but at some point they made a choice no?

I think most people underestimate how closely politics and psychology are linked, every time the taxes are raised more people are hurt and more sick people are produced, the very same sick people that loom the streets looking for trouble, the same sick people that become mass murderers or find ways to gain advantage by exploiting the system in a horrific manner. Even such monstrous characters such as Ed Gein are merely a result of even bigger monsters that either failed him through ignorance, greed or lack of knowledge, the very same teachers that turned their head the other way when he was bullied, the neighbors that had heard things but decided not to report, the politicians that rolled in the dirt like pigs seeking total control, when you realize all of that you pity the person rather than being angry at him.

I don't think any person is bad for acting in a bad way, there must have been a buildup of going through a rough life and then it is simply a question of being susceptible. Not everyone can afford treatment or access to a therapeutic environment.

But those are just my thoughts....
